It's going down, tonight in this town 00:30
'Cause they stare and growl, they all stare and growl 00:34
I take a scar, everytime I cry 00:39
'Cause it ain't my style, no, it ain't my style 00:43
Going down to the gravel, head to the barrel 00:49
Take this life and end this struggle 00:51
Los Angeles, come scam me, please 00:54
Emptiness never sleeps at Cliftons 6:00 a.m. 00:58
With your bag lady friend and your mind descending 01:03
Stripped of the right to be a human in control 01:05
It's warmer in Hell, so down we go 01:07
They say this is the city 01:08
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 01:12
They say this is the city 01:17
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 01:21
It's a ghost town, rabid underworld 01:27
Dionysian night, vitriolic twilight 01:29
A mirage come up, it never ends 01:32
Once you get burnt, you're never the same 01:34
Left behind, erased from time 01:37
Ain't no decency in being boxed up alive 01:39
Look around, ain't no R.I.P. signs here 01:41
We don't rest in peace, we just disappear 01:44
So here we are, Los Angeles 01:46
No angels singing in your valley of unease 01:49
I watch the sun roll down the Pacific 01:52
Over hookered Sunset Strip 01:54
They say this is the city 01:56
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 01:59
They say this is the city 02:05
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 02:10
There's a black moon tonight 02:15
Ain't shining down on the western neon lights 02:26
There's a black moon tonight 02:29
Ain't shining down on the western neon lights 02:34
They say this is the city 02:37
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 02:47
They say this is the city 02:52
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 02:57
They say this is the city 03:02
The city of angels, all I see is dead wings 03:06
They say this is the city 03:12

Lyrics:

[English]

It's going down, tonight in this town

'Cause they stare and growl, they all stare and growl

I take a scar, everytime I cry

'Cause it ain't my style, no, it ain't my style

Going down to the gravel, head to the barrel

Take this life and end this struggle

Los Angeles, come scam me, please

Emptiness never sleeps at Cliftons 6:00 a.m.

With your bag lady friend and your mind descending

Stripped of the right to be a human in control

It's warmer in Hell, so down we go

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

It's a ghost town, rabid underworld

Dionysian night, vitriolic twilight

A mirage come up, it never ends

Once you get burnt, you're never the same

Left behind, erased from time

Ain't no decency in being boxed up alive

Look around, ain't no R.I.P. signs here

We don't rest in peace, we just disappear

So here we are, Los Angeles

No angels singing in your valley of unease

I watch the sun roll down the Pacific

Over hookered Sunset Strip

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

There's a black moon tonight

Ain't shining down on the western neon lights

There's a black moon tonight

Ain't shining down on the western neon lights

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings
